The U.S. House on Thursday approved a bill that would ban new subsidies to help people buy health insurance on upcoming exchanges until the Obama administration enacts a new verification system to ensure benefits go only to those who are eligible.

The vote on the "No Subsidies Without Verification Act," H.R. 2775, marked the 41st time the Republican-led House tried to repeal, de-fund or change the Affordable Care Act. The bill is unlikely to win approval from the Democratic-controlled Senate.

Like the House as a whole, Michigan's congressional delegation voted along party lines.

U.S. Rep. Fred Upton, R-St Joseph, called the bill "an important step in reducing government waste, fraud, and abuse while protecting taxpayers from another costly burden of the health care law," according to a news release.

U.S. Rep. John Dingell, the longest serving member of Congress, said on the floor that Republicans were wasting the time

"Well, here we go again," said Dingell, D-Dearborn. "The time of the House is being wasted, the business of the nation is being obfuscated, and the Republicans have more nonsense to put on the floor. We’re told that this is important. That’s baloney!"
